SPETTOON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,355, dated May 27,1884.

Application filed April 14, 1884. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP II. DEIs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canal Dover, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spittoons; and I dodeela-re the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters and iigures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to euspidors intended especially for railway orother coaches, steam boat-cabins, dac.; and it consists in the novelconstruction, combination, and arrangement of the several parts, as willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of my device. Fig. 2 is asection on line X X, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a section on line Y Y, Fig. l,the top being removed.

The receptacle A is provided at its upper end with thelaterally-extended ledge a, extended entirely around. it. A iiange, a',is projected upward from the outer edge of this flange, as shown. Adischarge-opening, B, is formed through the bottom of the receptacle,and a tube, O, is projected upward from around said opening, as shown.This tube is slotted at G from the base of the receptacle upward, so asto permit the saliva to pass from the receptacle into and through thedischarge-opening, as shown. A tube, D, is secured and depends from thereceptacle and around the discharge-opening. I preferably form this tubeD integral with tube C, as shown. A grating, E, is placed on thereceptacle, having its rim e rested on the ledge a and within the iiangea', as most clearly shown in Fig. 1. This grating, in practice, ispreferably made of cast metal, but may be made of wire-netting when sodesired. A tube, F, is secured to the under side of the grating andextends down over tube G, being made of a length so it will project overand close the upper end of said tube and terminate at a point short ofthe bottom of the receptacle, so as to leave a sufiicient portion of theslots C open to permit the operation of the device, as before indicated.

In practice I intend to have the device embedded in the door of the caror in other suitable position desired. This will be understood from Fig.3, in which view I have indicated the floor in dotted lines.

Insteadof using the device in connection with a railway-coach or othermoving carrier, it may be used in buildings, and the tube D be connectedwith the sewer.

In operation, it will be seen the saliva will pass out through the slotsC into the dischargetube, and wind will not come up through said tube byreason of its closed top.

` Vhile I prefer to use the grating and to support tube F thereby, it ismanifest the grating could be dispensed with and the tube D supported bya cross-bar rested at its ends on the ledges a, or in other suitablemanner desired. I also prefer to use said tube, and to make it removablefrom tube C, as shown. It is obvious, however, that said tube C might beclosed by a cap secured permanently or otherwise on its upper end, andthe operation of the device would be practically the same.

The grating and` tube F can be readily removed when it is desired tocleanse the device.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is*

`l. A euspidor provided with a dischargeopening, and a slotted tubeprojected upward around said opening and closed at its upper end,substantially as set forth.

2. The herein-described cuspidor having a slotted tube projected upwardaround its discharge-opening, and a tube slipped over and removable fromsaid slotted tube, and having its lower end held above the lower end ofsaid tube, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the receptacle having dischargeopening, andprovided with a slotted tube projected up around said opening, of thegrating supported on said receptacle, and provided with a depending tubef1tting over and having its lower end arranged above the base of theslotted tube, s'ubstztn-V l In testimony whereof I mysignatnrein tiallyas set forth. presence of two Witnesses.v
